  Based on your image the surfaces look etched from contact with some sort of acidic chemical.

  If it was corroded from being ground salvaged it wouldn't look like it was sandblasted.

  Interesting. I didn't know that was a method used.

  I didn't state that it was sandblasted, however chemical etching can result in the same type of appearance.

  Looks as if it were dug from a pine forest... the decomposing needles make the soil acidic... I have seen dug buffs from this type of soil. Not saying this is what happened here...but looks like it... Cheers, RickO

  Ok so when I enlarged the image I saw a lot of pixalation Did you edit the image to get it to look like this or does it look like this in hand? I ask this because the editing cold add to the look of damage but at the same time some Buffs have a fairly rough surface. here is an example.

  The only editing I did was to cut it out and put it on a black background.

  AU details damaged/acid treated in that case if the surface is that rough in hand.

  Based on the images provided I would also say it has been acid treated.

  I'm not convinced it has environmental damage. I'd have to see it in hand.
